Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other people Agricola (full name possibly Julius Agricola; Шаблон:Floruit 365–421) was a West Roman statesman who served twice as praetorian prefect and became consul for 421.[1]

Life

He was from Gaul Narbo.[2] His familial relations are unclear: the names of Agricola's parents are unknown, as is the name of his wife, and the names of his children. He may have had a son named Nymphidius. He was the grandfather of Magnus, consul in 460. He was also a relative, perhaps even the father, of the emperor Avitus (Шаблон:R.455–456).[2]

He served twice as praetorian prefect. His first tenure was sometime before 418, but the exact circumscription is unknown; it was most probably in the Western half of the empire, however.[2] The second time Agricola served as praetorian prefect of Gaul was in 418. He presided over the initial annual concilium of the Gauls. This assembly had been founded by a previous praetorian prefect, Petronius, but it had stopped meeting due to the revolt of Constantine III.[3]

The last office Agricola is recorded holding is the consulship for 421, with Eustathius as the parallel officeholder in the East.[4]
